@rbreich I kind of knew better, but the very LAST straw was when Delta tried telling union workers that their union membership wasn't worth the dues, and "you could buy video game console instead, y'know!"

I'll gladly pay dues if I was afforded protection from corporate's next "big thing" being a failure (and I work for someone who knows how to deal with communication workers unions)

@rbreich What are the best ways to tell the good unions from the bad ones?

At my last workplace, a union was trying to get us to call for a vote. A rep approached my wife at our personal residence. I don’t know how they even figured out where I live, but it was creepy!

The good from the bad? You start with questioning your framing, I suggest.

And wonder why do you fear so much that a Union rep knows where you live? Do you feel the same about your employer? Perhaps you should.

@glitzersachen @felyashono @rbreich My employer has never shown up at my house uninvited. People I know don't do that. It's kind of weird. Religious loons and tv service salesmen do that.

"My employer has never shown up at my house uninvited."

But they could, e.g. if you come to the conclusion that there are good unions. Doesn't that intimidate you?
